About London Motors

London Motors was a Canadian automobile company located in London, Ontario. The company was formed by William Stansell, who was previously involved with the production of the Brock car in Amherstburg, Ontario. In 1921 Stansell raised $75,000 to form London Motors Limited, with a factory located at King and Ridout Streets. Prototypes were ready by the autumn of 1921. The London Six featured wooden disc wheels, a pointed windscreen and a Herschell-Spillman 6-cylinder engine. The engine was tilted down at the rear, providing a lower drive shaft and reducing universal joint strain. The aluminium body made the car very light, allowing a top speed of 137 km/h (85 mph) to be reached. Production began in late 1921, with the following models: Touring car Hardtop tourer/roadster Sedan Sedan Special Prices ranged from $2,600 for the tourer to $3,700 for the sedan.
